The details. 

If you are selected, you will have the option of attending a training session that prepares you for your first day in the classroom. In this session, you'll learn some key teacher moves to manage a classroom, how to become a facilitator of learning and plan an authentic learning experience. 

​In September, you will create your schedule and let schools know when you are available to teach. Schools can book you for an entire day, a 6-week module, a 4-hour workshop or by the hour. 

Parachute teachers get paid every Friday and can opt in to additional trainings to earn badges throughout the year to learn new skills and techniques to bring your content to life in the classroom.
